Ain o Salish Kendra (ASK), together with its six local partner organisations, organised a series of campaigns, rallies, discussion meetings and human chains under the EngageNow project to mark International Women’s Day. These programmes were held across Dhaka, Chattogram, Rajshahi, Satkhira, Barisal, Habiganj and Tangail districts. Representatives from government and non-government organisations, members of social organisations and the general public actively participated in these field-level events. Throughout the campaign, participants displayed awareness-raising slogans and banners highlighting women’s rights, equality, empowerment and the prevention of violence against women. During the discussion meetings, speakers emphasised the need for collective efforts to establish women’s rights, ensure gender equality and prevent violence against women. These initiatives are being implemented under the Nagorikata: Civic Engagement Fund (CEF) programme, with support from the Embassy of Switzerland and Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and the European Union (EU).
